Tramway Lane underbridge, view north, 29 April 1996

Tramway Lane underbridge, view north (see all photos of the same view)

The two facing walls that will support the bridge over Tramway Lane have now reached their full height. A mobile crane is on site, and appears to be removing the scaffolding and shuttering from the wall on the right. To the left, the crossing where the site haul road crosses Tramway Lane has recently been visited by a street sweeper on a regular visit to clear the public road of dust and mud.

What's new

Signs and sensibility

The one great attempt to make London’s streets logical - and how one retired chauffeur’s favourite routes changed the way you get around the capital.

A bridge under troubled bridges

A bridge that was ruined by another bridge, and a type of highway planning beyond any of the UK’s worst nightmares.

The monster seen from below

What might it have been like to stand in one spot and witness the arrival, and the uncertainty, of plans for an urban motorway in West London?

West Cross Route

Desperately-needed but never built, this was one of the only London urban motorway plans that were ever progressed to the construction stage.
